Answer : The chemical symbol for the atom is Cu.

Explanation :

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

The atomic mass of lead (Pb) = 207.2 amu

The atomic mass of iron (Fe) = 55.9 amu

The atomic mass of europium (Eu) = 151.9 amu

The atomic mass of copper (Cu) = 63.5 amu

From this we conclude that the chemical symbol for the atom that has an average atomic mass of about 63.5 amu is copper (Cu).

Hence, the chemical symbol for the atom is Cu.

Matter is made up of heat energy and ___________energy?

ella [17]

You’re correct, matter is made up of heat energy and chemical energy

all matter contains heat because it is the result of the movement of atoms, molecules, or ions in solids, liquids, and gases.

all matter also contains chemical energy. chemical energy is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds so atoms and molecules are held together by chemical energy

hope this helps :)

A. Calculate the empirical formula of a molecule with percent compositions: 55.3% potassium (K), 14.6% phosphorus (P), and 30.1%

Otrada [13]

The way you calculate the empirical formula is to firstly assume 100g. To find each elements moles you take each elements percentage listed, times it by one mole and divide it by its atomic mass. (ex: moles of K =55.3g x 1 mole/39.1g, therefore there is 1.41432225 moles of Potassium) Once you’ve completed this for every element you list each elements symbol beside it’s number of moles and divide by the smallest number because it can only go into its self once. After you’ve done this, you’ve found your empirical formula, which is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound. I’ve added an example of a empirical question I completed last semester :)
